Brief Answer:
side effects last for 7-10 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,Madam,

I have carefully read your query and understand your concern.

The usual side effects that are expected include:
1.Depressed mood and mood swings.
2.Headache
3.Nausea and vomiting
4.Weight gain
5.Breast pain and discomfort.

They last for approximately 7-10 days.

Bloating can be managed with drugs like Domperidone and Pantoprazole taken daily on empty stomach until symptoms persist.

Note:These drugs should be taken only under strict medical supervision.

Weight gain if any can be managed with regular 20 min brisk walk along with restriction of salt to less than 6 gm/day.

Oatmeal for breakfast helps to rapidly loose undue salt and water accumulation.

Post your further queries,if any
Thank you.
